This sounds very useful...

How much styrene are we talking about for a 1/2 bottle of TET?

I've got a bottle of it I made up on my desk. It works pretty darn good! It doesn't stay as mixed as I'd like, and it's a bit thinner than I'd like, but if you build a few layers up, it works to fill seams, divots, ejector pin marks, etc.

I saw it first on Flory Models.  It works really great to fill around holes, plugs, etc. It's essentially liquid styrene, so once it's dry and has fused with the kit plastic, it sands just like the kit does.

Heard of it, never tried it.

I saw this today on one of the Facebook Groups that I am a member of, and thought I would share it.  Has anyone tried this?

"Here is a tip that I learned from a fellow modeler almost a year ago. Tamiya Thin with styrene. Put small pieces of white styrene into a half full container of Tamiya Thin modeling cement. Use it to fill seams. It sands smooth for a flush seam. Works especially great on aircraft wing seams, etc."
